Climbing
St Gervais is one of the very best bases for a week of climbing. Be it Alpine or sport climbing.
Just a 5 minute walk straight from the chalet down the beautiful gorge paths, you are met by a great crag, always empty and always challenging, or keep going all the way down to Le Fayet, a further 10 minute walk, and you come across a great wall for beginners and those in need of a gentle first day!
Head to Les Contamines and you are suddenly spoilt for choice, with over 125 sports routes, all bolted and safe, ranging from 4a to 7c.
Want to tackle some of the famous Chamonix valley ascents? its a mere 20 minutes away in the car.
